Nomads & CommunitiesBackground
Movimiento Ciudadano is a Mexican political party commonly abbreviated to MC. It obtained national registration as Convergencia por la Democracia and later adopted its current name. Its history therefore spans several names within the same political organisation. The National electoral institute's published party profile identifies its social-democratic orientation.
The party's declaration of principles advocates participatory democracy, the separation of powers, civil liberties and equality. It also addresses gender equality, justice, security and human rights. These are the positions the organisation sets out for its political activity, rather than measures of its performance in office. Its identity combines participation in electoral representation with a stated commitment to wider citizen involvement in public decisions.
